Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim, saying, “Go, inspect the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.
1Na Joshua el supwala mwet luo liki acn Shittim in lukma, tuh elos in kalngeyuk in acn Canaan, yokna ke siti Jericho. Ke elos sun siti sac, elos utyak nu in lohm sin sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, tuh elos in mongla we ke fong sac. Inen mutan sac pa Rahab.
2And it was reported to the king of Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”
2Tokosra lun Jericho el lohngak lah oasr mwet Israel tuku in fong sac in kalngeyuk in acn Canaan,
3So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they have come to spy out the whole land.”
3na el sapla nu sel Rahab ac fahk, “Mwet ma tuku nu in lohm sum an ingan elos tuku in kalngei facl se inge! Supwaltalma!”
4But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from.
4A mutan sac el tuh usla mwet luo ac okanultalla. Na el fahk, “Pwaye oasr mwet tuku nu lohm uh, tuh nga tia etu lah elos tuku oya me.
5At dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!”
5Tusruk elos som meet liki kauli mutunpot lun siti uh ke eku. Nga tia pac etu lah elos som nu oya. Kowos fin sa ukwalos kowos ku in sonolos.”
6(But Rahab had taken them up to the roof and hidden them among the stalks of flax that she had laid out there.)
6Sruhk el usalosyak okanulosla ye kahp in sak flax ma el filiya fin mangon lohm sel ah.
7So the king’s men set out in pursuit of the spies along the road to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they had gone out, the gate was shut.
7Ke mwet lun tokosra inge illa in ukwe mwet luo ah, na mutunpot ah kauli. Elos ukwe mwet kalngeyuk luo ah nwe ke elos sun sisken Infacl Jordan.
8Before the spies lay down for the night, Rahab went up on the roof
8Meet liki mwet kalngeyuk luo ah motulla in fong sac, Rahab el fanyak nu yoroltal nu fin lohm ah.
9and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that the fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of you.
9El fahk nu seltal, “Nga etu tuh LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos facl se inge. Mwet nukewa in facl se inge elos arulana sangeng suwos.
10For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.
10Kut lohng ke ma usrnguk LEUM GOD El tuh orala ke El akpaoyela kof ke Meoa Srusra ye motowos ke kowos illa liki Egypt. Kut lohng pac lah kowos uniya tokosra luo lun mwet Amor — Sihon ac Og — su muta kutulap in Infacl Jordan.
11When we heard this, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in the heavens above and on the earth below.
11Ke kut lohngak ah kut arulana sangeng suwos, ac insiasr foroti. LEUM GOD lowos El God lun kusrao ac fin faclu.
12Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD that you will indeed show kindness to my family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign
12Inge fulahk nu sik ke Inen LEUM GOD lah kowos fah oru kulang nu sin sou luk, oana nga tuh oru kulang nu suwos. Ase sie mwe akul tuh ngan ku in lulalfongi komtal.
13that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will deliver us from death.”
13Wulela nu sik lah komtal ac molela papa tumuk ac nina kiuk, oayapa tamulel ac tamtael wiuk ac sou lalos nukewa, ac molikutla liki misa!”
14“Our lives for your lives!” the men agreed. “If you do not report our mission, we will show you kindness and faithfulness when the LORD gives us the land.”
14Na eltal fahk nu sel, “Kom fin tia fahkak ma kut oru inge, kut wulela nu sum lah ke God El ac fah ase facl se inge nu sesr, kut ac fah oru in wo nu suwos. Lela kut in misa kut fin tia oru oana ma kut fahk inge.”
15Then Rahab let them down by a rope through the window, since the house where she lived was built into the wall of the city.
15Lohm sel Rahab oanna sisken pot in siti uh. Ke ma inge el koela mwet inge liki winto lal ke sucl soko.
16“Go to the hill country,” she said, “so that your pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they have returned; then go on your way.”
16Na el fahk nu selos, “Kaingyak nu fineol uh, tuh mwet ukwe kowos ingan in tia konekowosyak. Wikwik we len tolu nwe ke na mwet ingan foloko, na kowos tufah som inkanek lowos.”
17The men said to her, “We will not be bound by this oath you made us swear
17Ac eltal fahk nu sel, “Kut fah karinganang wulela lasr nu sum, fal nu ke enenu lom nu sesr.
18unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother and brothers and all your family into your house.
18Pa inge ma kom enenu in oru. Ke pacl se kut ac foloko mweuni facl se inge, kom fah kapriya fu srusra soko inge ke winto se kom kwikutla we ah. Na kom fah eisani papa tomom ac nina kiom ac tamulel lom ac mwet nukewa in sou lun papa tomom nu in lohm uh.
19If anyone goes out the door of your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be innocent. But if a hand is laid on anyone with you in the house, his blood will be on our heads.
19Kutena mwet fin illa liki lohm uh ac misa likinum uh, mwata ac fah oan facl sifacna ac wangin ip lasr kac. Tuh fin oasr mwet sun ongoiya ke elos mutana yurum lohm uh, oasr ip lasr kac, ac mwata ac fah oan facsr.
20And if you report our mission, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”
20Tusruktu, kom fin fahkak nu sin kutena mwet ma kut oru inge, kut ac fah tia karingin wulela se su kom sap kut in wulela nu sum kac.”
21“Let it be as you say,” she replied, and she sent them away. And when they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
21Rahab el insesela nu seltal ac supwaltalla. Ke eltal som, el kapriya fu srusra soko ah ke winto uh.
22So the spies went out into the hill country and stayed there three days, until their pursuers had returned without finding them, having searched all along the road.
22Mwet kalngeyuk inge eltal som nu fineol uh ac wikla we. Mwet lun tokosra elos sokoltal in facl sac nufon ke lusen len tolu, tuh elos tiana konaltalak. Na elos folokla nu Jericho.
23Then the two men started back, came down from the hill country, and crossed the river. So they came to Joshua son of Nun and reported all that had happened to them.
23Na mwet kalngeyuk luo ah tufoki liki fineol uh ac fahsr sasla Infacl Jordan ac folokla nu yorol Joshua. Eltal srumun nu sel ma nukewa ma tuh sikyak nu seltal.
24“The LORD has surely delivered the entire land into our hands,” they said to Joshua. “Indeed, all who dwell in the land are melting in fear of us.”
24Ac eltal fahk mu, “Pwayena LEUM GOD El ase facl sac nufon nu inpaosr. Mwet nukewa we arulana sangeng sesr.”
